Is all that I need to be complete
If I am, don't take this away from me
Not now when I need it most
It has been a year and a few days now
And still I find I love you some how
I am amazed at how you make me feel
How you convince me that dreams are real
And maybe I am a fool for believing
That a girl across the sea
Is all that I need to be complete
If I am, don't take this away from me
Not now when I need her most

Line breaks between stanzas do help, especially if you have what looks to be lyrical type chorus...
Suggestions: Change "seen" in line 2 to "been". Makes more sense. You can see a place in your mind even if you've never been physically there. And when read, it sounds more 'bean' rather than the colloquial 'ben'.
Remove "Trying", it does nothing to enhance line 4. And the rhythm will still remain if not a better read.
Here's an idea for your chorus:
And maybe I am a fool for believing
That a girl from across the sea
Is all that I need to complete me
Then don't take this away when I need it most
That last line is difficult, it flows better until you get to there.
Other than that, it's fair. But don't think you're special because I pick on yah!!! *snorts*
